As the main goal, the scientific areas of the IMIB aim to obtain research resources to train a new generation of scientists and to attract scientific excellence improving research production and transfer of knowledge to the patients.
The institute presents different central core facilities to offer specialized technical and scientific support in biomedical and translational research in complex cases or lack of resources. These services include advanced equipment dedicated to imaging, biobanking, genomics, bioinformatics, clean room for cell therapy or pathology among others, as well as support for clinical trials.
